THE STATE OF POLITICS AND PARTIES IN UPPER CANADA. No. 111. It must now be sufficiently manifest that the inhabitants of Upper Canada are by no means without serious grounds of complaint as to the mode in which their affairs are ma naged. The Government carried on through the aid of patronage, jobbing, and corrupt influences—the exclusion of all men of liberal opinions from places of public trust—a con siderable public debt —a numerous pension list—judges and priests sitting in their Legislative and Executive Councils, and mingling the rancour of personal hostility and sectarian ani mosity with the grave deliberations on the general wel fare—incessant, and not altogether unsuccessful, attempts to establish and endow a dominant religion amongst a people al most universally opposed to such an Establishment—public offices kept up on a scale of magnitude far beyond the neces sities, and incompatible with the general habits and feelings of society—large sums of the public money expended in the construction of public works which are not wanted, while other internal improvements of a simpler and less ostenta tious kind, but of urgent and absolute necessity, are post poned or wholly neglected—large sums of money expended on the ministers of certain favoured forms of religion, to the exclusion of all other sects, and to the total neglect of any adequate provision for common schools, and the objects of ordinary education—these, and a variety of other grievances of a similar character, are some of the fruits of the Govern ment of Upper Canada, and they are the inevitable fruits of all government irresponsible to the people on whose behalf • it is administered. What is the remedy for such a condition of things ? In the state of opinion, habit, and feeling, which are en gendered in a country locally situated like Canada, it is to be feared that no remedy can be effectual, which does not give to the people, in substance, the entire control of 6(lir internal affairs,—which includes, of course, the dis posal and application of all the revenues raised within the Province, and effectual means for enforcing the respon sibility of all public officers. To bring such a remedy into practical operation neces sarily implies some change in the construction or working of the Constitution. The Reformers of Upper Canada, unwilling to resort to organic changes, conceive that they have within their own Constitutional Charter, if fairly and honestly carried out, the elements of all such improve ment in the present system as is necessary for the pur poses of good government. It has been already observed that the administration of Upper Canada is carried on by means of a Lieutenant- Governor, assisted by an Executive Council, a Legislative Council nominated b y th e C rown, and a House of As sembly elected by the people. For reasons, which have been already stated, the house of Assembly exercise a very imperfect control over the affairs of the Province. The Legislative Council is merely a convenient instrument for destroying by amendment, rejecting, or cushioning, bills from the Lower House, which may be unpalatable to the Governor, but which nevertheless he would not wish to be under the necessity of formally rejecting. The Executive Council were, till a recent period, universally believed to be the actual advisers of the Governor, and relieved him from great part of the odium of unpopular measures. It appears, however, that they have been used as a mere cloak, and were never even consulted on the measures of the Administration, The Reformers of Upper Canada conceive that, by the Constitutional Charter, the Executive Council ivls de signed to be an effectual body of advisers to the Governor ; and all which at present they require, and all which they conceive necessary to secure good government is, that the Executive Council should be really, and not nomi nally the advisers of the Governor, and be responsible, for the advice they give, to the voice of the people, as indi cated by majorities of the Provincial Parliament. They insist that under the Constitutional Charter of the Pro vince, the 31 Geo. 111., c. 81, under which the Province is now governed, an Executive Council is constituted, re sponsible to the people in the same sense in which the British Cabinet is responsible to the Imperial Parliament. In confirmation of this view, they adduce the language of General Simcoe, the first Governor of Upper Canada, and who, from all testimony of him, was one of the ablest and best men ever sent out to administer the affairs of a distant province. The passing of this Act gave rise to some of the most interesting and memorable debates ever heard in the British Parliament. The Act itself was a measure • of Mr. Pitt's,. and framed with the design of putting the government of Canada upon such a footing, that the people should have no ground of dissatisfaction in contemplating the form of government in the adjoining States. Gen. Simcoe was himself a member of the House of Commons at the time, took part in the debates, and was the bearer o f th is Act, when he went out to this province as its first Lieutenant-Governor, He was eminently qualified, and appears to have been authorised by the British Government, to explain to the people the new Constitution established for their benefit. His view of it is sufficiently clear from what he said on opening the first Session of the first Provisional Parliament,—" I have sum moned you together, under the authority of an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain, passed last year, which has established the British Constitution, and all the Arms which secure and maintain it in this distant country," and on closing this Session, again adverting t 5 the subject, lie says, "at this juncture I particularly recommend you to explain that this Province is singularly blest, not with a mutilated Con stitu tion,but with a Constitution which has stond the test cif experience, and is the very image and transcript rf that of Great Britain." It is insisted that these declarations would be a mere delusion, an unmeaning mockery, unless the se veral parts of the Canadian Government correspond in their functions and responsibilities with the several parts of the Imperial Government ; that is, unless the Lieutenant-Go vernor be considered as representin g the person of the King, while the Executive Council, or a portion of it, stand in place of the British Cabinet ; that on this construction of the charter, the Legislative Council, standing in the place of the House of Lords, as the house cf Assembly does in that of the House of Commons, the Canadian Constitution would be what Simcoe said it was, " the very image and transcript of Great Britain." Upon the consideration of the whole matter, however, although it is sufficiently plain that the Canadians have been cheated as to the true character of the Executive Council, it is not clear, either from the wording of the Constitutional Charter, or even from the strong language of Simcoe, that it was ever designed to invest it with powers and responsibilities similar to those of the British Cabinet. There is, however, enough to show that it was intended to found in the Executive Council a body of men possessed of local knowledge, to whom the Governor would be expected to resort for advice ; but further than this it is difficult, on any reasonable construction of their Charter, to carry the attributes of this body. In short, it cannot be made out conclusively, that the Exe cutive Council were ever designed to be the Constitutional advisers of the Governor, as the Reformers of Upper Canada contend ; though such a construction might not unreason ably be given to the Act ; and there can be little doubt that, with reference to the state of the Province, it would be in the highest degree politic and expedient so to do. This subject is the more important at the present mo ment, inasmuch as it is the very point of the contest between Sir Francis Head and the Reformers which is now agitat ing the Province into all the madness of political warfare. Whether the Governor's coup (fetal succeed for the present or fail, there can be little doubt that feelings will now be created which will require to be allayed by a very different mode of treatment from that which is now experi menting on, and which, if not soothed, will lay the founda tion for a not distant separation from the mother country. It is to be observed also, and the observation is deserving of great attention, that, whatever may be said or done now by the partisans of the Government, it is, in their calmer moments, the firm conviction of men of all parties that the Executive Council ought to be the responsible advisers of the Governor. So late as the 14th of March last, the House of Assembly, in reference to the resignation of the late Executive Council, came to the all but unanimous re solution— " That this House considers the appointment off' a respon sible Executive Council, to advise the Lieutenant Governor, or the person administering the Government, on the affairs of this Province, to be one of the most happy and wise features in our Gonstitution, and essential in our form of governmeni, , taaas-beicv , one of the strongest securitie s for a ju4ethitt equittible:ltdilistration of the Government, and the MI enjoyinent of. 6t64ivil and religious ri g ht s an d privi ,.. i si p o r fi o `was rr ls•reso u sty orted by men of all pa r ti es .

" -02 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1836. The affairs of Spain occupied, to no useful purpose, a considerable portion of the time of the House of Commons last night. Mr. MACLEAN, Mr. POULTER, Dr. BOWRING, Mr. T. ATTwooD, Mr. GROVE PRICE, and the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs se verally addressed the House on this important subject. Mr. MACLEAN wished to know the strength of our Marine force on the northern coast of Spain ; by what authority General EVANS denounced all British sub jects found in the ranks of Don CARLOS liable to the punishment of death ; and what correspondence had passed between Lord PALMERSTON and the Spanish Cabinet on the subject. Mr. POULTER confined him self to personal abuse of Don CARLOS, CABRERA, and CORDOVA. Dr. BowRING attacked the Presi dents of the Spanish Council in succession, from the death Of FERDINAND VII.—ZEA, BURGOS, MAR TINEZ DE LA ROSA, TORENO, MENDIZABAL, and IsTumz—charging them all with incapacity to save the country, and eulogizing the Constitution of Cadiz. Mr. T. ATTWOOD thought the QUEEN'S cause had hitherto been unsuccessful, because her Gene rals were treacherous. Were her MAJESTY to place twenty thousand good troops under command of the Hon. and Gallant Member for Westminster, she might look to the pacification of the country as all but effected. Mr. GROVE PRICE took Don CARLOS and CORDOVA under his parliamentary protection. The one was endowed with every quality suitable for a King of Spain ; and the other was what FEARGUS O'CONNOR would call " the broth of a boy"—the living personification of every ingredient which is sup- I posed necessary in the composition of a great General. The House received this statement with a shout of laughter. Lord PALMERSTON observed, in answer to the questions of the Honourable Member for Ox ford, that we were, by the Quadruple Treaty, auxilia ries, not principals, in the war now carried on between the Queen of SPAIN and Don CARLOS. He also stated that the marine force on the coast of Biscay were under the sole command of Lord JoirN HAY, and in no way under the controul of the Spanish Go vernment. With regard to the general order issued by EVANS, the Noble Lord was very vague in his expla nations, which ended in doing away with the order altogether. As we are particularly anxious that his Lordship's reputation may not suffer from any mis conception on our part, we shall quote his explanation of this affair as reported in the columns of the Chronicle : " The Hon. Gentleman here made some general observa tions on the order issued by General Evans, whi c h s h owe d that the Hon. Gentl eman had not read ' ! the order, or if he had, that lie of h iatd not sufficiently attend e d t o th e mean i ng o f the wording . the first place it must be observed, that the order being one issued under the Spanish Government, the English Government was not responsible for it. That order stated that British subjects found serving- Don Carlos would, in his opinion, be guilty of tre ason , and would, in his opinion, be liable to the punishment of tre ason, as prescribed by the laws of the country. Now, he was not so much of a 1 lawyer as to say what was the precise offence of which British subjects so situated were guilty. He thought, however, that no body would contend that when the King of England was by treaty allied with the Queen of Spain, it was fitting that Don Carlos should have amongst his adherents British sub jects, and that this country should be said to have thereby adhered to its true and obvious engagements. The very men tion of app ea li ng to E ng li sh law showed that General Evans did not contemplate doing anything with reference to those persons to whom his remarks applied in Spain. Indeed, the 46 7 TILE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1836. A very interesting debate arose in the House o Commons, last night, on the mo ti on o f M r . B . H " That au humbl e address be presented to the praying that his MAJESTY will be graciously pleased to direct that such measures may be taken as to his MAJESTY may seem proper, to secure the fulfilment of the existing treaty between this country an:l Mexico, and to prevent the establishment of slavery and traffic in slaves in the province of Texas, in the Mexican territory." The motion was subsequently withdrawn, but not before the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs had given the most ample explanation with respect to the determination of our Government to put down the Slave trade. We acknowledge ourselves well satisfied with the forcible statements made by the Noble L or d, convinced th at t h e un i te d e ff orts of England, France, and Spain, will go a great way towards putting an end to this inhuman traffic. We extract a paragraph from a Morning Contem porary, respecting a Deputation of Members who waited on the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on Wednesday last, on the subject of the establishment of a steam navigation with India, by the Mediterra nean. We understand that the substance of the state ment is correct, and we trust that Government will see the propriety of giving every encouragement to so laudable an enterprise, for which much praise is due to Mr. HUTT, whom, as a promoter of the general interests of commerce, as well as a Reformer, in the most enlightened sense of the term, we have observed to be very active in Parliament this Session. We know of no one vote of this Gentleman at variance with the interests of his constituents, or the commu nity. We subjoin the paragraph in question : " A long account has been sent to us of a conversation at the Treasury on Wednesday, between Mr. Rice and a depu tation headed by Mr. Hutt, and composed of the Members for Liverpool, Gr eenoc k, Gl asgow, D over, and other gentle-., men connected with commerce, on the subject of establishing a steam navigation with India by the Mediterranean, the Isthmus of Suez, and the Red Sea. The proposition was this :—That his Majesty's Government and the East India Company should contract with them for the conveyance of their mails and despatches, they undertaking to transmit them on more advantageous terms —more advantageous in re gard to speed, regularity, and economy, than they could be now conveyed. The conversation produced no specific opinion or promise from Mr. Rice, beyond his declaration that the subject should be carefully considered, and that he would com municate the determination of the Government to Mr. Hutt, as soon as possible." Accounts from Madrid to the 28th ult. have been received. On the 27th a proclamation appeared in the Gazette, forbidding more than two persons to assem ble in the streets, on pain of being seized by order of the Government. No exception was made in favour of any particular uniform. This proves that dissatis faction prevails to a dangerous extent in the capital. On the evening of the same day, ISTURIz held a Ca binet Council, of which the object is reported to be the expediency of appointing General SAARSFIELD to the Comm - andersbip-in-Chief of the Northern army. On the 20th CORDOVA left Vittoria for Miranda. Several waggons of grain took the same direction ; so that it is very probable that his late head -quarters has been left exposed to the Carlists, who are rumoured to be now in occupation of it. The importance of the news contained in the Paris Journals of Thursday may be ascertained from our extracts from them which are given below. The French Government received at a late hour on Thurs day the following telegraphic communication from Bayonne, dated the 3d instant : " General Harispe to the Minister of War. " General Villareal, with fifteen battalions and seven pieces of cannon, was menacing Zubiri and Linzoin, without being able to capture them. Gen. Bernelle hastened from Puente la Reyna, and with nine battalions only, five others being still in the rear, attacked and completely beat Villareal, throwing him back on the Ulzama. He writes to me yesterday evening from the field of battle, that the last of the enemy was 100 prisoners, 200 killed, and a great number of wounded. Ge neral Bernelle himself had but 40 killed and 150 wounded. His new Polish cavalry had done wonders, notwithstanding that the ground was unfavourable." The following additional information was received a few minutes afterwards : " The Governor of Gijon has written to the authorities of Bayonne that the column of Gomez was in full retreat from Galicia on Biscay, across the Asturias. He reached Tines on the 27th, and was expected to arrive in Oviedo on the 28th. The Christinos were close in pursuit of him." This is certainly very important as well as unex pected intelligence. Accou n t s f rom S aragossa to the 30th ult. state that the Carlist Commandant of Fort Canta-Vieja having determined to b e t ray t h e p l ace to General MONTES, he was se i ze d b y or d er o f t h e garrison and hanged. PARIS, AUGUS T 3.—A new official report of Cordova states the number of effective troops under his command at nearly 110,000 men. It is more difficult than ever to account for his inactivity, with such a force. General Rotten, commanding in Lower Arragon, has been deprived of that command at the desire of the inhabitants, who complained of his inactivity. Does not the public voice declare with more force, and much more generally, against the conduct of Cordova ? The same want of energy is observed in many points. At Sona, which the Carlists entered without difficulty, and where they levied a contribution of 10,000 dollars, the garrison con sisting, of five hundred men, contented itself with retiring into the fort, though it might easily have hindered the entrance of the Carlists, who were not above 1,000 in number. The Castle of Murviedo has been taken by Serrador. The C'arlist Gazette of Onate contains a Report to the Mi nister of War, of a great victory said to have been gained by the Carlists on the 18th ult., between Salinas and Amurio. The ridiculous and bombastic style of this Report, does not permit us to give any credit to it. The same paper speaks of another victory of Cabrera, in consequence of which he is said to have made himself master of four important forts. It adds that the force of that Chief is daily increasing by desertion from the Christinos. All this needs confirmation. What seems most certain is, that Gomez has obtained but little success in Galicia, and that he has been obliged to retreat. The journey of the infant Francis de Paula and his consort, who left Madrid, to go to enacting part of the order, after talking of treason of English laws, resolved itself into this, that no verbal communication should take place between his picquets and the soldiers who had deserted from the British Legion to Don Carlos. So that, after all, General Evans's order amounted to this—that it was expedient to prevent his men deserting, by not allowing them to speak with those engaged in the opposite cause." After this explanation of the purport of the " Gene ral Order," it is scarcely conceivable to understand why it was issued at all. A person less observant of mere forms than the Foreign Secretary represents General EVANS to be, would find many ways to pre vent conversations between his men and the Carlists, without adopting the roundabout mode of entering upon an exposition of the purport of the most difficult questions in the science of international law. Lord PALMERSTON says that he is not enough of a lawyer to define the extent of the crime of British subjects entering into the service of Don CARLOS. With all due respect for his Lordship, we think it was his duty to have consulted the Crown lawyers upon the subject, before attempting to answer the questions addressed to him by the Hon. Member for Oxford. But by far the most unsatisfactory part of Lord PALMERSTON'S speech was the conclusion. We give it as we find it in the Ministerial Morning Journal : " Without pretending to any military experience, he felt great confidence that, through that dispensation by which human affairs are governed, the cause of the Queen of Spain must eventually prosper. He could not bring himself to think that a cause so sullied by cruelty and crimes as that of Don Carlos, whose object was to establish a despotism in Spain, and snatch from his unhappy country all prospect of improve ment—he could not, he repeated, bring himself to believe That it could ever enter into the arrangement of human affairs, under that supreme dispensation, to prosper under such a cause as this. He took up this view upon the same grounds, that when Don Pedro had no place whereon to rest his foot, save the ruins of Oporto, he had predicted that by some means or other his cause, and that of the young Queen, his daughter, must eventually triumph. That prediction had proved well founded, and he now, with equal confidence, en tertained a similar event in the case of the Queen of Spain." Such language as the above is more suited to the con venticle than the Senate. It certainly is not language which any sensible person would expect to hear uttered by a British Cabinet Minister. Lord PALMERSTON'S predictions may be all the result of inspiration, for what we can tell to the contrary ; but we beg to assure his Lordship that a force less etherial than his prophecies will be required to drive Don CARLOS from the Pe ninsula. From the period when the first shot was fired to decide the question of disputed succession, and the right of the Spanish people to a Constitutional Government, we declared ourselves in favour of a sys tem of direct open warfare against Don CA Rims. Had this mode of settling the question been adopted, the war would have ceased in less than six months ; order would have now reigned in the Peninsula; and one half the crimes which have been committed would have never taken place. And yet we see clearly that to this we must come at last. Valencia, was stopped by an attack of the insurgents. The Prince himself escaped with difficulty. He lost part of his equipage and several valuable horses. Tranquillity seems to be restored in the capital, whence four battalions have been sent to Castille. The Government has published a decree which secures the payment of the English Legion. This decree is of such a nature that M. Villiers was able to declare himself satisfied with it, and that the whole of the Legion would continue in the Queen's service. An immediate intervention is now spoken of, or, if you will, an effective co-operation. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees publishes the following " POSTSCRIPT.—SiX o'clock, P.M.—We have the following letter from St. Sebastian, July 28 The Isabella 11. steam boat, which has just arrived from Corunna, brings me word that the expedition of the insurgents is retreating after passing two days at Santiago.

When an account comes to be taken of the manner in which the time devoted to legislation has been spent, and it is found that little, comparatively speaking, has been done, the answer to the question " Why is this ?" will be, " Ask the Lords ! Go to your darling Peers, and they will tell you they have a patent from WIL LIAM the CONQUEROR for doing just as they please, without being answerable to any human authority." They certainly have worked, and are working this pa tent to admiration. They act in the true spirit of men who flatter themselves that the day of final retribution is at such a distance, that it may very safely be disre garded in estimating the consequences of their present conduct. It is for the people of Great Britain and Ire land to undeceive them. It is for the people to prove, that there is a power in this world to which even Peers must be content to submit. A night or two ago, these hereditary incubi upon our social system gave a fine sample of their destruc tive energies, by throwing out no less than five impor tant Bills, the preparation and discussion of which had occupied the servants of the Crown and the Commons for a considerable time. Lord LYNDIIURST held up his finger, and the whole vanished in an instant. Last night also the same course was pursued, though not quite to the same extent. The Bill for extending the jurisdiction of Sheriffs in Scot land, a measure the object of which was to bring jus tice more within the reach of the people, was burked without mercy, and the County Election Bill was so mutilated as to be deprived of its most valuable provi sion, namely, that for limiting the poll to one day. Slash away my Lords ! It is your turn now ; the people's turn is coming. THE FUNDS. ---(THIS _DAY.) _ RALP-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no further arrivals to corn, municate.

An unforeseen incident has deprived the inhabitants of Leicester, for a while, of the presence of one of the greatest men of existing times, and one of the ablest advocates of freedom the world has ever seen. Though Mr. O'Connell has been detained, enough has happened to convince the Tories that the Reformers are not asleep, while the inconve nience which has been sustained, and the disappointment which may be felt, wall only add zest to the pleasures of a future day.—Leicestershire Mercury.

About nine o'clock on Wednesday night last, a shed, in a pasture field upon Full Barns Farm, near St. Ann's Castle, Great Leighs, in the occupation of Mr. F. Harrison, was discovered on fire, and the building, which was thatched, wholly destroyed. Two trees also, one of which supported the timbers of the shed, were much damaged, but no other pro perty was consumed. There is no doubt that the fire was wilful.—Mr. Harrison has lately incurred the displeasure of the labourers in his neighbourhood. —lpswich Journal.

The faMous greyhound, Major, the property of the Earl of Eglinton, died of inflammation, at Eglinton kennel upon Saturday last. At the late Chelmsford flower show, Mr. Craske exhibited a fine specimen of the snake cucumber, full three feet long.

The volume before us forms the sixth of the His tory of England, continued from the elaborate work on the same subject by the late Sir James IVlackin tosh. It commences with the retreat of the Royal forces from the field of Naseby in the year 1645, and closes with the insurrection of the " fifth monarchy men"—of which, it may be remembered, we have a brief but animated sketch in Scott's tale of " Peveril of the Peak"—during the troubled reign of Charles the Second. The volume is written throughout with temper and judgment, a rare thing with an historian treating of such times, though it is occasionally slip-shod and negligent in its style. A NEW CHECK JOURNAL. E. Wilson, London, 1836. A book wholly of a commercial character, by Mr. Jackson, accountant. As its rules and observations are the results of a long practical acquaintance with every branch of trade, we are willing to suppose that they are such as will be useful to the commercial community, though unfortunately such is our ig norance of the system of " book-keeping by double entry," that we cannot, on our own authority, under take to pronounce a decided opinion on the value of Mr. Jackson's labours. CARR'S ROMAN ANTIQUITIES. Cadell, London, 1836. An excellent school-book, the various information of which it consists being put forth in a succinct and condensed form. The author —or, to speak with more correctness, the compiler—of the work, is a gentleman named Carr, who is one of the classical masters in King's College School. The best, and most generally serviceable chapters, are those devoted to the con sideration of the Roman magistracy, a prolific subject which is dwelt on at fitting length, and with singular accuracy and minuteness of detail. The wood-en gravings are of average merit. NAVAL HISTORY Or GREAT BRITAIN. CoMorn, London, 1836. When completed, which it will be in eight monthly parts, this work will form a valuable addition to our already copious stock of naval records, more particularly as it is proposed to bring the publication down to the pre sent time. The Number before us, which is the third, contains two portraits, one of Lord Nelson, and one of Lord St. Vincent. Both are fair enough like nesses. The editor of the work is Captain Brenton, R.N., who has very appropriately dedicated it to his Majesty. NAUTICAL MAGAZINE. This is a Monthly Publication, edited by a " Naval Officer," and evidently in a careful, pains-taking,man ner. The communication on " Nautical Patents and Patentees" contains one or two interesting matters of fact, and is from the pen of a correspondent every way qualified to discuss such a topic. COURT MAGAZINE. The embellishment to this month's Number is a Portrait of Lady Elizabeth Courtenay, engraved by Cochran, from a painting by Mrs. Robertson. The engraving is finished with cons id era bl e s kill an d deli- cacy, especially as regards the lights and shades of the countenance. The literary department contains one able-written talc by the late William Godwin, Jun. The Duke of Cumberland will take his departure for Berlin in the course of this month, to be there at the time Prince George is to have an operation performed, in Septem ber, for the restoration of his sight. The family having in tended, when they left town for the continent, only to remain there two years, and the time having now expired, the Duke and Duchess, and Prince George, are expected to return in the autumn, or early in the ensuing year, to England. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria inspected the Victoria Asylum at Chiswick on Wednesday afternoon. Their Royal Highnesses expressed most strongly their approbation of the arrangements and dis cipline carried on in this institution of, the " Childrens' Friend Society." The Duke and Duchess of Somerset have left Wim bledon Park for Maiden Bradley, one of his Grace's scats in Wiltshire. The Duke of Rutland has left Bolton-street for Haddon Hall, in Derbyshire, and thence to his seat Long shawe, on the moors of Yorkshire, to be ready for the grouse shooting, which commences on the 1 2th instant. The Duchess of Bedford and the Ladies Russell left Camden-hill, Kensington, on Thursday, for •Brighton, where a mansion has been taken on Portland-terrace for the family. The Duchess will remain at Brighton until after the aceouchement of her daughter, the Marchioness of Aber corn. The Duke of Bedford will proceed shortly to Scot land. The Hon. John Duncan Bligh and his newly-mar ried lady, da ug ht er o f M r . Gisborne, M.P., have returned to Hay-hill, Dover-street, from Cobham, where they have been on a visit to the Countess of Darnley. Mr. Bligh proceeds immediately to Stockholm, as Minister of the Court of Sweden. The Duchess of Gordon, after visiting her bro ther, Mr. Brodie, of Brodie, will take up her abode at Huntley Lodge, to which she is entitled under the will of the late Duke. The Prince and Princess of Capita, travelling under the titles of Count and Countess de Mascali, left Marseilles at the end of last month for Geneva. Earl and Countess Granville and their eldest son, Lord Leveson, left Devonshire House yesterday, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire, at Chatsworth, at which magnificent seat there will be the usual succession of festivities during the autumn. The routine duties of the Noble Ambassador at the French Court arc performed by the Secretary of Legation, Arthur Asto, Esq., with th e ass i stance o f the Hon. Colonel Caradoc and Mr. H. Greville, Attaches to the Embassy. MARQUIS OF HUNTLY.—Upon the arrival of the Marquis of Huntly at Aboyne, on the 26th ult., numerous parties of his tenants and friends repaired to welcome him to the mansion of his ancestors, preceded by pipers, while white flags, flowers, and evergreens, waved on every side. When the Marquis reached the Castle, the Rev. Mr. Miller delivered a congratulatory address upon his Lordship's suc cession to the Premier Marquisate of Scotland ; to which the Marquis replied in the kindest manner, but evidently labouring under the strongest feelings. After quitting the Castle, part of the company sat down to a dinner at the Aboyne Arms, and kept up the festivities to a late hour. It is not expected that Parliament will be pro rogued sooner than Thursday, the 18th instant. Captain Wemyss, of Wemyss, M.P. for the county of Fife, succeeds to the valuable estates situated in that county of his maternal uncle, the late Sir J. D. Erskine, Bart., of Torrie, who died here a few days ago. The remains of the late Mr. N. M. Rothschild reached London by steam-boat on Thursday evening, and were deposited at the house of business in the City, where they will remain till the day of interment. Mrs. Rothschild and the family arrived by the same conveyance. It is under stood that the funeral will take place on Sunday next; the day is, however, not definitively fixed, on account of the absence of Mr. N. Rothschild, who had not reached Frankfort when his father died ; consequently, he will have to follow the rest of the family to London. The German name Rothschild is not, as has been stated in some Papers, Anglice Redchild, but Redshield. The word child would be kind in German. Much agitation has arisen in Stamford from a decla ration of the Rev. Thos. Roberts, Rector of St. Mary's, that the sentiments he has adopted are those of high Calvinism. The Rev. Gentleman stated from his pulpit, on Sunday se'nnight, that he had for some time meditated on the pro priety of making this decl ara ti on p u bli c . It i s i nten d e d b y some of the parishione rs to apply to the Bishop on the subject. —Stanford Mercury of Thursday. The Precursor of Antwerp says :—" We learn from Java that, according to an Order received by the Go vernor, the exportation of sugar and coffee from the island is prohibited to all except Dutch vessels bound direct to Holland." THE GREENWICH REFORM DINNER. —The pre parations for this dinner, which takes place on Monday next, are upon a most extensive scale. Nothing will be wanting to give eclat to the affair, and to manifest how deeply the prin ciples of Reform are implanted in the breasts of the great majority of the electors of the borough of Greenwich and the western division of the county of Kent. The attendance upon the occasion will be most numerous and highly respectable. Amongst those who have already signified their intention to be present are Lord Nugent, M. P., Mr. Barnard, M.P., Mr. Angerstein, M. P., Mr. Duncombe, M. P., Mr. Wakley, M. P., Captain Dundas, M. P., Mr. T. Attwood, M. P., Dr. Bowring, M. P., Mr. Law Hodges, M. P., Mr. Wilks, M.
